AGRICULTURE COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE
for sustainable production intensification
Dear Susbscribers,
agricultures network magazines document practical field experiences on sustainable agriculture. They offer an opportunity for those working in agricultural development, particularly in diverse, risk-prone and resource-poor regions, to publish their experiences and to read about the experiences of others. All magazines are published four times a year, and each issue deals with a particular theme. 2014 was by the United Nations as the International Year of Family Farming. This is a very important recognition of the multiple social, economic, environmental and cultural functions of family farming. For example, family farmers produce more than 50% of the worlds food, and are important guardians of biodiversity. Creating the conditions for family farming to thrive is essential for a sustainable future. Call for articles: Strengthening family farming. Deadline: October 1st, 2013.
